The three papers present what the future universities and colleges would probably be like with the increasing digital media available. They are very enlightening and desirable, especially for the college practitioners. The new learning environment would be completely different from what we have assumed. It would be the complex combination of the present in–campus education system,  the digital online environment and the online real-life community.

 In the new learning environment, the new digital generation will have free access to a broader continuum of tools in their lives. The decentralized modal could set up a new environment where experts or masters help learn better and be more helpful as facilitators. It's important for the teachers to accept their position as a learning teacher. The teachers will face greater challenges. Traditionally, teachers will have more resources and should be a master or at least an expert in certain field. The dominant position and the authority will be challenged with the learners as a team who will have the same resources at hand. Confucius said “If three of us are walking together, at least one of the other two is good enough to be my teacher”. Hanyu, a learned poet and essayist in ancient China, noted "Students are not necessarily inferior to their masters, and instead the teachers not superior to the students." Not only the soft boundary exists between the distance education and the in-campus education, but also the difference between teacher and students would not be so significant. Teachers would be the program facilitator and coordinator. More different positions for the learning program would arise.  

More teachers need work together as a team for some program in order to handle the complex learning environment. The requirement that the different websites be seamless and uniform posit a challenging situation where not only the program developers, the course designers and the teachers should be in pace with what and how the websites will present. Teaching groups will  work together in a seamless way.

 The decentralized modal of learning environment would not solve all the problems in the new personal learning environment. The in-campus education will still play an essential role even in the new learning environment. Human being likes communication and group work and encouragement. It is necessary to have experience of working together.
